FREEWAY TRAFFIC FLOW FOLLOWING A LANE BLOCKAGE

The theory of traffic flow following a lane blockage on a multi-lane freeway has been developed. Numerical results have been obtained and are presented both for the steady state case where the traffic density remains constant and the non-steady state case where the traffic density changes with time.
